The main stream media has done a very good job of keeping any opposing views out of public view. Many Americans feel that it only them and perhaps their close circle of friends feel the nation is being taken in the wrong direction.
Trump is a little like when Rush first came on the national scene and people began to discover they were not alone only now it is bigger.
It is possible that middle America is beginning to wake up and shake off the yoke of “racism” and “political correctness” and push back against the left.
Interesting observations you have there.
I was listening to radio relatively frequently when Rush first hit national radio, and you’re right, it was refreshing to hear someone voice what I’d been thinking all along on many issues, and especially to hear him take the PC crowd on. His “Amazon Battalion” was my all time favorite.
And Trump will do the same to the PC nonsense, just by calling it out over and over. He might also be the person who brings a halt to all this false racist nonsense, especially since that seems to be Hillary’s main line of attack, i.e., that Trump is racist. It will be interesting to see how he takes her on with that issue. If he does so successfully, he might pull the curtain back on the whole issue, revealing it as the trumped up nonsense that it’s become. (I like the sounds of that: “trumped up nonsense”.)
I’ve got several reservations about Trump, mainly on policy grounds, but if Hillary wants to fight him on the grounds he’s a racist, I have a feeling she’s going to find herself on the ropes more than she’s anticipated.
